Sleeve Locking Mechanism:

The sleeve locking feature provides enhanced security by preventing the coupling pin from working loose during operation. The locking sleeve ensures the pin remains securely in place throughout the rigging operation, providing peace of mind in critical lifting applications. This design allows for easy installation and removal when needed, while maintaining secure closure during use.

Half Coupling Link Design:

Half coupling links provide versatile connection options for chain rigging systems. The design allows for quick attachment and removal of chain sections, making them ideal for creating adjustable-length rigging assemblies, connecting different chain components, and attaching chains to other rigging hardware. The coupling pin design enables easy reconfiguration of rigging systems without the need for permanent connections.

EN 1677 Certification:

Testing according to EN 1677 European standards ensures this half coupling link meets rigorous quality and performance requirements. This certification provides assurance of consistent manufacturing quality, proper material specifications, and reliable performance in professional rigging applications.

Applications:

Ideal for professional rigging operations, chain-to-chain connections, chain length adjustments, temporary rigging assemblies, chain-to-hardware connections, and industrial lifting where removable, secure coupling links are required. Perfect for construction, manufacturing, material handling, and any application requiring flexible chain rigging configurations. Commonly used to extend chain lengths, connect chain sling legs, attach chains to shackles or hooks, and create custom rigging assemblies that may need periodic reconfiguration.

Safety Note: Always inspect half coupling links and pins before use for wear, deformation, or damage to the locking mechanism. Ensure coupling pin is properly installed and sleeve lock is engaged. Never exceed the working load limit. Use only with Grade 80 chain rated for equivalent loads.
